System Description
Intended Medical Use
Lumax is the name of a family of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Primary objective of the therapy is to prevent sudden cardiac death. The aim is to auto­matically detect and terminate cardiac arrest caused by ventricular tachyarrhythmia. All major therapeutical approaches from the field of cardiology and electrophysiology are contained within the Lumax family. Furthermore, the device is capable of treating bradycardia arrhythmias and congestive heart failure with multisite ventricular pacing – known as cardiac resynchronization therapy. The integrated Home Monitoring component can provide information about occurring rythm disturbances and delivered therapies close to real time as well as by IEGM Online HD®. Furthermore, statistical data about the patient's condition as well as infor­mation about the integrity status of the device itself are sent. The implantation of an ICD is a symptomatic therapy with the following objectives:
Termination of spontaneous ventricular fibrillation (VF) through shock delivery
Termination of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (VT) through antitachycardia pacing (ATP); in case of ineffective ATP or hemodynamically not tolerated VT, with shock delivery
Cardiac resynchronization through multisite ventricular pacing (triple-chamber device)
Compensation of bradycardia through ventricular (single-chamber device) or AV sequential pacing (dual- and triple-chamber device)
Required expertise
In addition to having basic medical knowledge, the user must be thoroughly familiar with the operation of a device system. Only qualified medical specialists having the spe­cial knowledge required for the proper use of devices are permitted to use them. If users do not possess this knowledge, they must be trained accordingly.
ICD System
Lumax
The Lumax ICD system consists of the following:
Single-, dual- or triple-chamber device with connections for bipolar sensing and pacing as well as connections for shock delivery
ICD leads: —
One bipolar ICD lead with one or two shock coils for the ventricle (single-cham­ber device)
One bipolar lead for the atrium and one bipolar ICD lead for the ventricle respectively with one or two shock coils (dual-chamber or triple-chamber device)
One uni- or bipolar CS lead (coronary sinus lead for the triple-chamber device)
Programmer with current device program
Device
The device's housing is made of biocompatible titanium, welded from outside and thus hermetically sealed. It serves as a potential antipole during shock delivery. The ellip­soid shape facilitates implantation in the pectoral muscle area. The labeling provides information about the device type and the arrangement of the connections.
Lumax family
The following types with Home Monitoring are available (some device types are not available in all countries):
NBD and NBG codes
VVE is the NBD code for the antitachycardia mode of the single-chamber, dual-cham­ber and triple-chamber devices:
Note:
A tripolar or quadrupolar RV lead has bipolar electrodes as well as 1 or 2 shock
coils.

DDDR is the NBG code for the antibradycardia mode of the dual-chamber and triple­chamber devices:
VVIR is the NBG code for the antibradycardia modes of the single-chamber devices:
ICD leads
The leads are sheathed with biocompatible silicone. They can be flexibly maneuvered, are long-term stable, and are equipped for active or passive fixation. They are implanted using a lead delivery set. Some leads are coated with polyurethane which
is known to increase the sliding properties for the lead. Leads with steroids reduce inflammatory processes. The fractal design of the elec­trodes provides for low pacing thresholds.
Device/ICD lead connection scheme
BIOTRONIK ICDs are designed for connection to ICD leads with a bipolar IS-1 connec­tion (pacing/sensing) and DF-1 connection for shock coils.
Connection schemes of the device types:
Device and lead connections:
Possible technical failures
In principle, technical failures in the device due to component failures cannot be ruled out; they occur, however, very rarely. Possible causes of such malfunctions include the following:
Battery depletion
Lead dislodgment
Lead fracture
Insulation defects
Programmer
The portable programmer is used to transfer the current device program to the device. In addition to this, the programmer is used for interrogation and storage of data from the device. The programmer acts as an ECG and IEGM monitor with Miniclinic. The programmer communicates with the device via the programming head. It has a TFT touch screen with a color display, on which the ECG, IEGM, marker and functions are shown simultaneously. The programmer has, among others, the following functions:
Perform all tests during in-office follow-up
Display and print real-time and saved IEGMs with annotated markers
Determine the pacing threshold
V Shock in the ventricle V Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) in the ventricle E Detection via IEGM analysis
D Pacing in both chambers D Sensing in both chambers D Pulse inhibition and pulse triggering R Rate adaptation
VVentricular pacing V Sensing in the ventricle I Pulse inhibition in the ventricle R Rate adaptation
Note:
Device and lead have to match; Kentrox A+ Steroid and Linox Smart DX leads
match the Lumax 540 VR-T DX.
Note:
A bipolar as well as a unipolar coronary sinus lead can be connected to the left ventricular CS connection of the Lumax HF variant. Several pacing polarities can be set with a bipolar CS lead.

BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring
®
In addition to effective pacing therapy, BIOTRONIK provides a complete therapy management system:
With Home Monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic information and technical data are automatically sent to a stationary or mobile transmitter via an antenna in the device header. The data are encrypted and sent from the transmitter to the BIOTRONIK Service Center via the cellular phone network.
The received data are deciphered and evaluated. Each physician can set the criteria for evaluation to be used for each patient and can configure the time of notification via E-mail, SMS or fax.
A clear overview of the analysis results is displayed for the attending physicians on the protected Internet platform HMSC (Home Monitoring Service Center).
Data transmission from the device is performed with a daily device message.
Device messages, which indicate special events in the patient's heart or in the device, are forwarded immediately.
Technical manuals
The following technical manuals provide information about usage of the device system:

Therapeutic and Diagnostic Functions
Overview
Depending on the type, the device program contains not only the ICD functions but also all PM functions for 1, 2, or 3 chambers. The patient's heart rhythm is continuously monitored; each arrhythmia is classified according to the heart rate and the adjustable detection criteria. Depending on the preset values, antibradycardia as well as anti­tachycardia therapy is inhibited or delivered.
Antitachycardia pacing
The ICD can treat ventricular tachycardia with antitachycardia pacing (ATP); ATP can also be delivered in the VF zone (ATP One Shot) when the rate stability indicates that this will be effective before shock delivery (monomorphic rapid VTs).
Cardioversion, defibrillation
The ICD can treat ventricular tachyarrhythmia with cardioversion and/or defibrillation. Shock polarity and energy can be programmed for individual therapies. Shock energies between 1.0 and 40 J are possible. Before delivery of the first shock, the ICD can verify that the tachyarrhythmia is still ongoing; in this verification mode the device can iden­tify spontaneous conversion of the tachyarrhythmia and cancel shock delivery.
The shock paths can be set between the different shock coils (SVC/RV) and/or the housing.
Home Monitoring: Message retrieval
The device sends information to the service center in two ways; automatically once a day, and when triggered by certain events. All data can be viewed on the Internet sub­sequently.
IEGM-Online HD® with 3 channels in high resolution (High Density) with annotated markers
Direct information on sustained atrial arrhythmia including IEGM Online HD
Regular IEGM recordings of the intrinsic rhythm for remote diagnosis
Daily transmission of atrial heart rate variability (SDANN)
Transmission of the following data:
Device settings
Impedance measurement values
Sensing measurement values
30-second IEGM recording
Statistics
Transmission is carried out on a weekly or monthly basis.
Antibradycardia pacing
Innovative rate hystereses, automatic sensor functions, and a night program promote the patient's intrinsic rhythm, avoid overdrive pacing, and facilitate adaptation of the device to the individual needs of the patient. Positive AV hysteresis functions support the intrinsic conduction and thus the natural contraction sequence. Negative AV hysteresis functions support the cardiac resynchro­nization therapy by maintaining pacing in stress situations.

5
For resynchronization of the ventricles, 3-chamber devices have functions for multisite ventricular pacing with possible VV delays in either direction.
To ensure that no additional surgery is necessary in case of a left-sided increase of pacing threshold or undesired phrenic nerve stimulation by the CS lead, different pacing polarites can be set for the CS lead with a triple-chamber device.
Setting an upper pacing rate for the atrium prevents unspecific atrial pacing, thus improving the termination of pacemaker-mediated tachycardia.
Automatic threshold monitoring (ATM) for the left and right ventricle
Diagnostic functions
The device can record several types of arrhythmia episodes and store them in the Holter memory:
VT/VF therapy episodes
SVT episodes (requirement SMART)
VT monitoring zones
AT/AF monitoring zones
The device stores diagnostic data about arrhythmia episodes:
Detection counter and therapy counter
Temporal characteristics of the episode
Details on the last ATP and shock deliveries
Shock data
Therapy history
Triple-channel IEGMs including marker channels, up to 30 min Comprehensive memory functions such as histograms, Holter, mode switching long­and short-term trends and the activity reports facilitate the evaluation of both patient and device status. The follow-up assistant functions have been largely automated. The shock impedance is measured in an automatic procedure involving below-thresh­old electrical pulses. This process is painless for the patient. The impedance values are automatically measured 4 times a day. They are averaged and provided in a trend in the device and via Home Monitoring. Painless measurement of shock impedance can also be carried out manually with the programmer.
Lumax 540 VR-T DX is new (DX stands for diagnostics): Only one lead is required for
improved detection of AT and AF even with a single-chamber device. This enables
sensing in the atrium and ventricle as well as AV-sequential pacing. The SMART
algorithm helps distinguish more clearly between SVT and VT. The IEGM is
recorded in both chambers.

Connecting the ICD lead connector to the device
Leads are connected to the device according to the diagram on the header. Proceed as follows:
Setting the lead polarity manually
Due to the risk of an entrance/exit block, bipolar lead polarity (sensing/pacing) should only be set if bipolar leads are implanted.
Implanting the ICD
Implantation site
In general the ICD is implanted subpectorally on the left depending on the lead configuration as well as the anatomy of the patient.
ICD status prior to implantation
The ICD is shipped in a deactivated mode and can be connected and implanted in this state.
W
WARNING
Far-field sensing or insufficient defibrillation
When shock coils and pace/sense electrodes are not spaced sufficiently apart or positioned inappropriately, this can lead to far-field sensing or insufficient defibrilla­tion:
The distance between two shock coils must be greater than 6 cm.
Pace and sense electrodes must not contact each other.
W
CAUTION
Damage to the header while handling the blind plug
For every connection there is a blind plug in the header; the provided set screws must be carefully loosened or tightened.
Loosen set screws with the supplied screwdriver. Use BIOTRONIK screwdrivers with torque control only!
Do not forcibly pull out the blind plug!
If lead repositioning is necessary, re-order sterile screwdrivers from BIOTRONIK.
W
WARNING
Malfunctioning of the therapy functions or triggering of tachycardia by older, unused leads
If, upon replacing the device, predecessor leads are no longer used but left where they are, then their connections have to be insulated so that there is no additional uncontrolled current path to the heart.
1 Disconnect stylets and insertion aids from the lead connector. 2
Connect ventricle shock coil to RV.
Connect vena-cava shock coil or subcutaneous shock coil to SVC.
3
Connect the bipolar IS-1-lead connector atrium to A S or P/S A.
Connect the bipolar IS-1 lead connector ventricle to P/S V.
Connect the unipolar or the bipolar IS-1 lead connector of the CS lead
to P/S CS.
4 Push the lead connector into the header without bending the conductor until the
connector tip becomes visible behind the set screw block.
5 If the lead connector cannot be inserted completely, the set screw may be
protruding into the cavity of the set screw block. Carefully loosen the set screw without completely unscrewing it, so that it does not become tilted upon retightening.
6 Use the screwdriver to perpendicularly pierce through the slitting in the center
of the silicone plug until it reaches the set screw.
7 Turn the set screw clockwise until the torque control starts (you will hear a
clicking sound).
8 Carefully withdraw the screwdriver without retracting the set screw.
Bipolar IS-1 connectors: tighten both set screws!
When you withdraw the screwdriver, the silicone plug automatically seals the lead connection safely.
W
CAUTION
Shipment mode active!
During shipment, the device has been set to shipment mode. The shipment mode reduces the battery's energy consumption, which may increase longevity. The shipment mode controls the charge time of automatic capacitor refor­mations. The shipment mode must be deactivated before the conclusion of the implantation procedure.
The shipment mode will be automatically deactivated
as soon as electrophysiolo-
gical tests (e.g. impedance measurement) have been performed.

Notes on applying a programming head (PGH)
The programming head (PGH) features a diagram of the device to assist in positioning the head.
Make sure the PGH is positioned correctly to ensure proper telemetry.
Notes on applying a permanent magnet
Applying a permanent magnet interrupts sensing and therapy of tachycardia events. After 8 hours of this type of deactivation, the device automatically activates the therapy functions again to prevent unintentional permanent deactivation.
If detection interruptions of longer than 8 hours are required, the magnet has to be briefly removed from the device. The 8 hour countdown restarts when the magnet is applied again.
Use BIOTRONIK accessories, permanent magnets of type M-50 or programming head PGH with magnet.
Sequence

Activating the ICD
Proceed as follows:
After Implantation
Follow-up
Follow-up intervals
Follow-ups must be performed at regular, agreed intervals.
The first follow-up should be carried out by the physician using the programmer (in-office follow-up) approximately 3 months after implantation following the lead ingrowth phase.
The next in-office follow-up should be carried out once a year and no later than 12 months after the last in-office follow-up.
W
WARNING
Unintentional shock delivery
A shock could be delivered when handling an activated ICD.
If an already activated ICD is to be implanted: turn off ICD therapy.
W
WARNING
Interference of heart rate monitoring
Radio frequency as during electrocautery can interfere with electromyografic moni­toring, e.g. be interpreted as arrhythmia and trigger a shock.
Turn off the detection function of the ICD during cauterization; the pacemaker function can remain active.
Additionally check the peripheral pulse of the patient.
1 Shape the device pocket and prepare the vein. 2 Implant the ICD leads and perform measurements. 3 Connect the device and ICD leads. 4 Insert the device. 5 Check the device with standard tests. 6 Close the device pocket.
W
WARNING
Telemetry interference with inadequate pulse amplitude
If the pulse amplitude of the temporary program is not effective, the patient may get into a hemodynamically critical condition. Telemetry interference can prevent correc­tion of the critical amplitude.
Lift the programming head 30 cm; the device switches automatically to the permanent program.
W
WARNING
Loss of pacing during exclusively left ventricular pacing
When only LV pacing is set and lead displacement occurs, the following dangers exist: loss of ventricular pacing and the ATP therapy as well as induction of atrial arrhyth­mia.
Carefully check the pacing parameters.
1 Select the device program for Lumax on the programmer.
W
WARNING
No ICD therapy as delivered
At the time of delivery, the device is programmed with the factory settings.

Follow-up with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring®
Monitoring using the Home Monitoring function does not serve to replace regular
in-office appointments with the physician required for other medical reasons. Follow-up supported by Home Monitoring can be used to functionally replace in-office follow-up under the following conditions:
The patient was informed that the physician must be contacted if symptoms worsen or if new symptoms arise despite use of the Home Monitoring function.
Device messages are transmitted regularly.
The physician decides whether the data transmitted via Home Monitoring with regard to the patient's clinical condition as well as the technical state of the device
system are sufficient. If not, an in-office follow-up has to be carried out. Possible early detection due to information gained via Home Monitoring may necessi­tate an additional in-office follow-up. For example, the data may indicate at an early stage lead problems or a foreseeable end of service time (ERI). Furthermore the data could provide indications of previously unrecognized arrhythmias or modification of the therapy by reprogramming the device.
Follow-up with the programmer
Use the following procedure for in-office follow-up:
Note for physicians
Use the patient ID card to obtain information on magnet behavior and tachyarrhythmia detection.
Notes for patients
A patient brochure and a patient ID card are supplied with the device.
Provide the patient with the patient brochure and patient ID card.
Draw the patient's attention to prohibitory signs:
places with prohibitory signs must be avoided.

Cautionary Notes
Medical Complications
General information on possible complications
It is impossible to guarantee the efficacy of antitachycardia or fibrillation therapy, even if these therapies have proved successful during intraoperative tests or subsequent electrophysiological tests. In rare circumstances, the set therapies may prove ineffec­tive or, in unfavorable conditions, even life-threatening. It is possible for therapies to induce or accelerate tachycardia and cause sustained ventricular flutter or fibrillation.
Known possible complications:
The following are some of the known medical complications related to pacemaker therapy and ICD therapy:
Formation of necrotic tissue
Vascular damage
Thrombosis
1 Replace device soon.
W
WARNING
EOS before explantation
If EOS occurs before replacement of the device, the patient is without antiarrhythmic therapy and thus at risk of a life threatening condition!
1 Replace device immediately. 2 Monitor patient constantly until immediate replacement of the device!
Note:
Before the cremation of a deceased patient, the device must be explanted.
W
WARNING
Unintentional shock delivery
A shock could be delivered when handling an activated ICD. Devices may not be explanted when detection is activated.
Turn off the detection function before explantation.
Do not simply cut the ICD leads.
1 Interrogate the device status. 2 Deactivate VT and VF therapies. 3 Disconnect the leads from the header. 4 Remove the device and leads using state-of-the-art technology. 5 Dispose of the device in an environmentally safe manner. 6 Fill out explantation form and send to BIOTRONIK.
Note:
Normal oxidation processes may cause ICD housing discolorations. This is
neither a device defect nor does it influence device functionality.
1 Clean the explant with an at least 1% sodium-hyperchlorine solution. 2 Rinse off with water. 3 Send to BIOTRONIK for disposal in an environmentally safe manner.

Embolism
Increase in pacing threshold
Detection failures
Foreign body rejection
Cardiac tamponade
Muscle or nerve stimulation
Device-induced arrhythmias
Perforation of device pockets
Infections
Psychological intolerance or psychological dependency
Actions to prevent device-induced complications
Skeletal myopotentials
Bipolar sensing and control of sensitivity are adapted by the device to the rate spectrum of intrinsic events so that skeletal myopotenials are usually not detected. Skeletal myo­potentials can very rarely be sensed as intrinsic events and, depending on the inter­ference pattern, may provoke inhibition or antiarrhythmia therapy.
Risky Therapeutic and Diagnostic Procedures
External defibrillation
The device is protected against the energy that is normally induced by external defibril­lation. Nevertheless, any implanted device may be damaged by external defibrillation. Specifically, the current induced in the implanted leads may result in necrotic tissue formation close to the electrode/tissue interface. As a result, sensing properties and pacing thresholds may change.
Due to possible damage to the patient or the device, the use of the following procedures is contraindicated:
Therapeutic ultrasound and diathermy —
Damage to the patient via excess warming of body tissue near the device system
Radiation therapy —
Shield the device sufficiently against radiation.
Check the system for integrity after applying radiation.
Radiation can cause latent damage.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
Lithotripsy
Magnetic resonance imaging and the associated magnetic flux density —
Damage or destruction of the device system due to strong magnetic interaction
Damage to the patient via excess warming of body tissue near the device system
Electrocautery and high-frequency surgery —
Damage to the patient via the induction of arrhythmia or ventricular fibrillation
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Applied pressures higher than normal pressure
W
CAUTION
Transmission of atrial tachycardia to the ventricle
Set the following parameters to avoid unphysiological pacing in the ventricle in cases of high atrial rates or sinus tachycardia:
Activate Mode Switching for indicated patients.
Set the upper rate and the refractory periods to prevent abrupt ventricular rate switching.
Prefer Wenckebach response and avoid 2:1 behavior. Set all parameters to prevent constant switching between atrial and ventricle con­trolled modes to prevent unphysiological rhythm switching upon loss of AV sequential pacing.
W
CAUTION Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia in cases of retrograde conduction
Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia can occur in patients with retrograde conduction.
Measure the retrograde conduction time.
Switch on PMT protection to prevent pacemaker-mediated tachycardia.
Set the VA criterion.
Note:
Place adhesive electrodes anterior-posterior or perpendicular to the axis formed by the device to the heart at least 10 cm away from the device and from implanted leads.
W
CAUTION
Interference with the device and risk to the patient due to electrical current during medical treatment
If electrical current from an external source is conducted through the body for diag­nostic or therapeutic purposes, then the device has to be switched off or carefully monitored during the initial treatment phases.

Possible Interference
Possible impairments due to EMI
All devices (PM/ICD) are susceptible to interference. The signals generated by sources of interference could be interpreted as heart activity by the device, and/or could disturb measurements required for adapting the rate of the device:
Depending on the pacing mode and the type of interference, these sources of inter­ference may lead to pacemaker pulse inhibition or triggering, an increase in the sensor-dependent pacing rate, or a fixed-rate pulse delivery.
Under unfavorable conditions, for example during diagnostic or therapeutic proce­dures, the interference sources may induce such a high level of energy into the artificial pacing system that the device and/or cardiac tissue around the lead tip is damaged.
BIOTRONIK devices have been designed so that their susceptibility to EMI is mini­mized.
However, due to the variety and intensity of EMI, absolute safety is not possible. It is generally assumed that EMI produces only minor symptoms, if any, in patients.
Static magnetic fields
Above a flux density of 1.8 mT, the Reed contact in the ICD closes; the ICD therapy is then deactivated. If the magnetic field decreases to below 1 mT, the Reed contact opens and the ICD therapy is active again.
Possible sources of interference
Interference can be caused by:
Household appliances
Safety locks or anti-theft installations
Strong electromagnetic fields
Cellular phones and transmitters (CardioMessenger) —
Patients are advised to hold cellular phones to the ear opposite the side on which the device is implanted. Furthermore the cellular phone or transmitter should be held at least 15 cm away.
Cellular phones and transmitters emit signals when in stand-by mode, i.e. when not in use. Therefore these devices should not be carried in a breast pocket or within a radius of 15 cm around the implanted device.
Electromagnetic interference only has a temporary effect. Implanted devices function again properly when the cellular phone or transmitter is moved away.

CAUTION
Technical failures due to damaged leads
Switch the automatic impedance measurement function on to detect lead errors. Impedance values that indicate a loss of lead integrity are documented in the event list.
Note:
Indicate the possibility of interference to your patient if this is expected to have a clinically relevant impact. Protect the device against the interference itself or its effect by means of appropriate programming.

Resistance to interference
With unipolar sensing, the requirements of EN 45502-2-2:2008 are met for interference voltages  0.6 mV (peak to peak). EMC requirements relating to section 27.5 are met as long as atrial sensitivity is set to
1.0 mV (corresponds to factory settings) or higher ( 1.0 mV). Appropriate measures must be taken to assure interference-free therapy if more sensitive values are chosen.

Note:
Devices in the Lumaxfamily should be implanted within 16 months between the
date of manufacture and the use by date as specified on the package.
If the ICD is implanted shortly before the use by date, the expected service time may be reduced by up to 15 months.
Please note that four capacitor reformings are carried out per year. Therefore you have to account for at least 4 shocks per year, even if less than 4 have been delivered (see the following charts of service times).

Popis systému
Zamýšlené lékařské použití
Lumax je název pro skupinu implantabilních kardioverter-defibrilátorů (ICD). Primárním cílem léčby je prevence náhlé srdeční smrti. Cílem je automaticky detekovat a ukončit srdeční zástavu vyvolanou komorovou tachyarytmií. Skupina Lumax zahrnuje všechny hlavní terapeutické kardiologické a elektrofyziologické přístupy. Zdravotnický prostředek je dále schopný léčit bradykardické arytmie a městnavé srdeční selhání. Městnavé srdeční selhání se léčí pomocí srdeční resynchronizační léčby prostřednictvím 'multisite' komorové stimulace známé jako srdeční resynchronizační léčba (CRT). Integrovaná funkce pro domácí monitorování (Home Monitoring) může poskytnout informace o vyskytujících se poruchách rytmu a podaných léčbách ve skutečném čase
a rovněž pomocí IEGM-Online HD®. Jsou též zasílány statistické údaje o stavu pacienta a rovněž informace o integritě samotného zdravotnického prostředku. Implantace ICD je symptomatická léčba, která má následující cíle:
ukončení spontánní komorové fibrilace (VF) pomocí šoku;
ukončení spontánní komorové tachykardie (VT) pomocí antitachykardické stimulace (ATP); v případě neúčinné ATP nebo hemodynamicky netolerované VT použitím šoku;
srdeční resynchronizace pomocí 'multisite' komorové stimulace (3dutinový implantát);
kompenzace bradykardie pomocí komorové (1dutinový implantát) nebo AV sekvenční stimulace (2 a 3dutinový implantát).
Předpokládáné odborné znalosti
Mimo medicínského základu jsou třeba podrobné znalosti funkcí a podmínek použití implantátového systému. Pouze lékařští odborníci s těmito zvláštními znalostmi mohou implantáty používat v souladu s ustanovením. Nejsou-li tyto znalosti k dispozici, musí být uživatel proškolen.
ICD systém
Lumax
ICD systém Lumax se skládá z následujících komponent:
1, 2 nebo 3dutinový implantát s konektory pro bipolární snímání a stimulaci
a rovněž s konektory pro šokovou léčbu;
ICD elektrody: —
jedna bipolární ICD elektroda s jednou nebo dvěma impulzními cívkami pro dutinu (1dutinový implantát),
jedna bipolární elektroda pro síň a jedna bipolární ICD elektroda pro komoru
s jednou nebo dvěma impulzními cívkami (2 nebo 3dutinový implantát),
jedna uni- nebo bipolární elektroda do koronárního sinu (3dutinový implantát);
programátor s aktuálním programem implantátu.
Implantát
Case implantátu je vyrobeno z biokompatibilního titanu, z vnější strany svařeno a tak hermeticky utěsněno. Case slouží jako potenciální protipól při spuštění výboje. Elipsovitý tvar usnadňuje implantaci do oblasti pektorálního svalu. Značení poskytuje informace o typu implantátu a uspořádání konektorů.
Skupina Lumax
Existují tyto typy s funkcí Home Monitoring (ne v každé zemi jsou dostupné všechny typy implantátů):
Kódy NBD a NBG
VVE je kód NBD pro antitachykardický režim 1-, 2- a 3dutinových implantátů.
Upozornění:
Tri- nebo kvadrupolární RV elektroda má jak bipolární elektrody,
tak 1 nebo 2 impulzní cívky.
Implantát Typ s vysokou energií: max. 40 J
1dutinový Lumax 540 VR-T
Lumax 540 VR-T DX 2dutinový Lumax 540_DR-T 3dutinový Lumax 540 HF-T

DDDR je kód NBG pro antibradykardický režim 2- a 3dutinových implantátů.
VVIR je kód NBG pro antibradykardický režim 1dutinových implantátů.
ICD elektrody
Elektrody jsou vyrobeny z biokompatibilního silikonu. Mohou být flexibilně ovládány, jsou dlouhodobě stabilní a jsou vybaveny aktivní nebo pasivní fixací. Jsou implantovány pomocí soupravy pro zavedení elektrody. Některé elektrody jsou potaženy polyureta­nem, který zvyšuje kluzné vlastnosti elektrody. Elektrody se steroidním límcem snižují výskyt zánětu myokardu. Fraktální design elektrod poskytuje nízké stimulační prahy.
Diagram propojení implantátu/ICD elektrody
ICD firmy BIOTRONIK jsou navrženy pro připojení ICD elektrod s bipolárním připojením IS-1 (stimulace/snímání) a připojením DF-1 pro impulzní cívky.
Diagramy propojení typů implantátů:
Připojení implantátu a elektrody:
Možné technické závady
Technické závady implantátu v důsledku selhání komponenty nemohou být v podstatě vyloučeny; vyskytují se však velmi vzácně. Mezi příčiny takových poruch patří:
vybití baterie,
posunutí elektrody,
zlomení elektrody,
defekty izolace.
Programátor
Pomocí přenosného programátoru je aktuální implantační program přenášen na im­plantát. Programátor kromě toho slouží k ověřování a uložení dat do paměti z implan­tátu. A funguje jako monitor EKG a IEGM s miniklinikou. Programátor komunikuje s implantátem přes programovací hlavici. Má k dispozici TFT dotykovou obrazovku s barevným displejem, na kterém jsou současně zobrazeny funkce EKG, IEGM, markru a přístroje. Programátor má mezi dalšími tyto funkce:
provedení všech testů během prezenčního následného sledování,
zobrazení a tisk IEGM v reálném čase a uložených IEGM s popisovanými markry,
zjištění stimulačního prahu.

Upozornění:
Implantát a elektrody musí být vzájemně kompatibilní; k ICD Lumax 540
VR-T DXlez použít pouze elektrody Kentrox A+ nebo Linox Smart DX.
Upozornění:
Bipolární a rovněž unipolární elektroda do koronárního sinu může být připojena do levého komorového CS konektoru varianty Lumax HF. U bipolární CS elektrody může být nastaveno několik stimulačních polarit.
